I would love to be an airline pilot because of how flying and aviation can bring you to different cultures and you can learn about other places. I love how flying brings people together.\u201d<\/em> <br \/><br \/>Pictured above, PreFlight Campers Bronwyn Canipe (L) and Gwynith Matarazzo (R) in front of a Skyborne aircraft at Vero Beach Airport, Florida<\/p><p>PreFlight Camp is a Skyborne chosen charity and offers young girls aged 10-14 a hands-on approach into aviation through Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM). PreFlight Campers learn to pilot a simulator and experience a discovery flight with a female instructor to empower them to believe that becoming a pilot is achievable.<\/p><p>For more information on
